After Neighbor's Crusade, Jane Temporarily Closes Ballroom

phpNT1BmDPM.jpg The Jane Street Hotel may be oh so pretty, but it has spurred an ugly battle on the street. Yes, after a full-on, balls-out attack on the hotel, the residents of the street have allegedly won... for now. We're told by a tipster that: "The Jane Street Hotel is now closed until November due to the violations and they have a sign on the door that its because of internal issues." This comes after the hotel was "raided" over the weekend.

Guess that's what happens when you hire a publicist, start a blog, and Tweet the long, noisy night away. We've contacted The Jane for comment, and to confirm. You can still get a room at the hotel, however, this only concerns the bar and lounge (which have been keeping the neighbors up at night).

UPDATE: The Jane tells us they are "voluntarily choosing to make a few minor physical adjustments to the ballroom space to insure that the entire venue is in 100% compliance with all codes and ordinances... for the next few weeks, while The Jane makes the minor changes to the Ballroom, they plan to only occupy the front bar."

Ok then. So when the Jane Hotel brings their bar & lounge up to code, what will the neighbors do now? They won't have a leg to stand on when they reopen.

It's nice that they're "voluntarily" choosing to comply with the law.

Businesses complying with the law generally IS voluntary, as it is when they pay their taxes and do any other thing that isn't immoraal.
